The baby's physical health affects the heart of every parent, especially when the child is young, almost every moment is thinking about whether the child is warm, whether he is full, whether he is unhappy, whether it is time to sleep.
Even if it is carefully taken care of, there are times when it is not well considered, so that the baby has some small problems. I believe that as long as you feed in a scientific way, your baby can basically develop healthily, and there is no need to be too anxious.
The other day I went to a friend's house to see her second child, it has been three months since the last time I came to his house, but seeing that this 8-month-old baby seems to be a little too thin, and the height has not grown much, I asked my friend with some doubts whether he has added complementary foods.
Friends also complained, except for breast milk and milk powder, nothing else. I looked again at the complementary food prepared by her family for the baby, and I understood why.
The more trendy rice noodles, her family did not prepare; the eggs were not broken after boiling; the boiled porridge rice grains are clear... In short, this is suitable for older children to eat, not for this 8-month-old baby.
After explaining it to her friends, she finally figured out the reason for the baby's weakness and decided to slowly cultivate the child's interest in complementary foods. I believe that after a while, his baby will definitely become stronger.
The physical development of the baby is a certain law, and parents should grasp the law of scientific feeding, so as to help the baby's physical development, otherwise it is counterproductive. So let's take a look at the rules of your baby's physical development.
What are the rules of your baby's physical development?
Generally speaking, when the baby is small, weight is the most measurable measure of the baby's development.
At birth: about 3.3 kg for male babies and about 3.2 KG for female babies. Of course, there are cases of overweight, but this data is the average data of our country.
3 months ago: The average weight gain is about 300 grams per 7 days, which is when your baby is developing the fastest.
Before 6 months: With an average weight gain of about 200 grams per 7 days, your baby's development rate gradually slows down.
Before 9 months: With an average weight gain of about 90 grams per 7 days, your baby's development rate is still slowing.
Before the age of 1: The average weight gain is about 70 kg per 7 days. By this time, the baby's body had grown by about 9-10 pounds from birth. If the feeding is nutritious, or if the baby has very good body genes, it may weigh 4 times the weight at birth.
Timely discovery of whether the baby's physical development is in line with the basic situation, it is necessary for parents to measure in time. Since the baby's body develops relatively fast before 6 months, it should be measured once a month;
After 6 months, the body's development gradually slows down, so it is necessary to measure every 2 months. As the baby grows older, the measurement spacing can also become longer and longer, such as a 4-year-old baby can measure once a half a year, and a 6-year-old baby can also measure once a year.
In addition to weight, height can also measure your baby's development
At birth: If the genetic factors of parents are not considered, the average height of babies born in China is 50 cm. If the parents are taller, the baby's original height may be higher, but not more.
3 months ago: The height can basically grow by about 3 centimeters per month, when the baby's development is in a rapid growth period.
6 months ago: You can basically grow by about 2 centimeters per month in height, and your baby's development rate gradually slows down.
Before the age of 1: You can basically grow in height by about 1.5 centimeters per month. By this time, your baby's body has grown by about 24-26 cm from when he was born. If the feeding is nutritious, or if the baby has very good physical genes, the weight may grow faster.
Feeding on demand is key
Supply sufficient amounts of vegetables. After 6 months, in order to meet the baby's growth and development, you can add complementary foods appropriately, although vegetables taste bad for the baby, but to stimulate the baby's interest in vegetables. This requires parents to use their brains, bright colors, novel styles, nutritious vegetables will win the baby's favor. At the same time, it is also possible to "vegetables disappear" to let the baby eat vegetables unconsciously.
The right amount of fruit is served. The fruit contains a lot of nutrients to promote the baby's growth, and the baby can give the baby some tepid fruits, especially apples. If the baby's stomach is bloated, you can also give the baby steamed fruit to eat, but know that the steamed fruit will make some nutrients lose.
Abundant supply of meat, eggs and milk. Protein is the main nutrient that promotes your baby's growth and development, and most of it comes from meat, eggs and milk. Babies can get a certain amount of protein by drinking breast milk and milk powder, so they can also give their babies high-protein foods such as lean meat and eggs. But it should be noted that it must be appropriate, not too much, otherwise it will lead to indigestion of the baby.
It is good to assist the baby's body to develop faster, but we must pay attention to the choice of complementary food types, and cannot add too much at one time, so as to avoid allergies or indigestion. At the same time, it is also necessary to add complementary foods according to the needs of the baby's physical development. Smart Moms and Dads, have you learned?
